Does inFamous: Second Son contain a Mario and Luigi reference?

Reader Victoria Garcia and his daughter Victoria came across the shot above, which comes from inFamous: Second Son. If you get in close and take a real look at the photo, it does look like Mario and Luigi are referenced/given a neat little tribute. Are those really the famous brothers, or are we just crazy?

[pedrof93]

This is in the beginning of the game.

[Agent Smith]

At first, I couldn't see it. But after looking at it for a few minutes, I still don't see it.

[Kyanu]

lmfao

[hay]

Surely a Matrix glitch. Still running on Windows, huh?

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

Agent Smith gets a bubble for funny :)

[Why o why]

Lol, good one

[nveenio]

At best, it's one of the dev's kid's drawings of Mario and Luigi.

...or an elephant...

[sinspirit]

I can kind of see a Sackboy..

[kingfetish17]

Funny how this easter egg's shown when Delsin brings up the name "Reggie" in his dialogue.

Reference to Nintendo's president, Reggie Fils-Aime.

maybe....??

Half Life 3 Confirmed

[tanookisuit]

No, No, sir...!

The Last Guardian release date, confirmed!

[Zefros]

I think i saw luigi in the picture.

[TekoIie]

"Reader Victoria Garcia and his daughter Victoria"

.... I'm confused.

[Heisenburger]

I think it's some sort of Victoria to Victoria space-time continuum.

[LordMaim]

Trapped in Victorian times.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Shit just got medieval, or damned close to it.XD

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

I can't really tell... Lol.
I know they have sly cooper references.
Cole Mcgrath with the store "Cole McG"
They reference knack aswell with a Doll.

Mario though, no.

[Pintheshadows]

This is slightly off topic guys but is there a way to change the time of day as you see fit after the game has ended?

If there isn't, there should be. I can't seem to find one anywhere.

[moujahed]

No the time of day run in accordance to the story.

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

That's exactly what I've been looking for. I want to play the game in the night time with my neon powers as it looks more amazing.

[Rockefellow]

Weather seems to change randomly post-game, but I haven't noticed day/night cycles as of yet since I jumped straight to the evil playthrough.

What happens if you play the game with the ps4 clock set to evening hours? Have you tried reloading your save file a few times to see if it changes? Might be worth a try.

[Pintheshadows]

It doesn't seem to do anything sadly. I have to say the city looks really dull on an evil post game tear up. I want to play at night or in the rain.

[kopicha]

@Rockefellow

The day night cycle occurs at certain point of the story. It has nothing to do with the PS4 clock or how long you have dive into the game.

[Rockefellow]

I know that, kopicha. We were discussing possible ways for players go experience the cycle post-game, because constant daytime is rather dull. Those were simple suggestions for potential ways to see if nighttime could be provoked, which seems to be a staple atmospheric effect in many open-world games.

I'm sorry if you weren't able to understand what we're discussing without uselessly reiterating what we already know. Someone literally said the exact same thing you did, just a few posts above you, making me wonder if you were eager to act like some know-it-all prat, or simply too stupid to read for general context before typing.

I thought it was pretty easy to comprehend, my mistake.

[RandomDude655]

A couple on Neogaf have said it depends on Good/evil karma. Good=noon, evil=dusk.

[ZodTheRipper]

It's exactly like this, good looks way better post-game. I hope they'll add an option to change between the 8 presets via menu.

[Rockefellow]

Ahhh... That makes sense now. It's an interesting design choice, but I would enjoy being able to alter the weather and time cycle via menu or "cheat," similar to GTA.

[moujahed]

I've seen the master sword randomly several times... so much so that I will be pretty confused if we aren't able to use it at some point in time. Never seen anything related to Mario & Luigi.

[Rockefellow]

I think it's a stretch to call those things master sword references, if you're talking about what I'm thinking of that's spoiler territory.

[moujahed]

They already posted and article hear showing pictures and saying the same thing. Nobody deemed or even labeled it as spoiler now I say it and it's boarder lining it?

[oIITSBIIo]

SO ?

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

I'm starting to think that there's some sort of ulterior motive behind these last couple of articles about nintendo stuff in second sons...

[SilentNegotiator]

NintendoEverything needs SOMETHING to generate traffic...

[fei-hung]

If you have unlocked alternative designs, there is one called the "X-Bone."

I found it hilarious lol

There is also A batman reference when Delsin shouts, "where is she?" twice.

[R-A-S-0]

There are tons of references in this game. These are the ones I've noticed:

1. There's a crane with "Frasier" written on it.
2. (SPOILER) when you catch Hank the 2nd time he says something like "sorry about the Sucker Punch."
3. (SPOILER) sometime after meeting Eugene, Delsin says something like "let's do this for the gamer."

Edit: forgot about the x-bone one. Thanks fei-hung

[SilentNegotiator]

"1. There's a crane with "Frasier" written on it"

Yessss! I knew they wouldn't disappoint and would remember to have a Frasier reference.

[jcnba28]

Like many other developers out there these guys are just showing love and respect for Nintendo which is awesome.

Sackboy.

- Before you hit that Disagree button, Think! Is it worth it? Reply to why you disagree with me.

[XisThatKid]

i dont agree or disagree but why?

[mixelon]

I disagreed because you pretty much asked people to and i thought that was funny.

Also, i disagree with sackboy?

[LAWSON72]

How am I supposed to see anything in that tiny ass image? The game is 1080p so how about, oh I dont know, native res screenshots.

[DanaBlack]

Did anyone see the shoutout to the Xbox one yet?

[MCTJim]

I'm sorry but I dont see it...Looks like fuzzy picture to me. THis thought comes to mind for me: if you stare at clouds enough you start to see images.

[MCTJim]

ahhh much better..now I see it

[Geekman]

News about an Actual Mario game=low degrees.

News about a Mario cameo in a PS4 game=High degrees.

[dragon_rocks]

I didn't go into the article yet but from the brief summary given under the heading on this page:

"Reader Victoria Garcia and his daughter Victoria came across the shot above"

So the guy and his daughter are both named Victoria?

[LKHGFDSA]

it sure looks like them.

[Edsword]

Apparently some one at SP likes Nintendo. Some R&C games had Nintendo references as well, this is nothing new.

[Abdullah316]

I can see buzz lightyear

[djplonker]

Yup all I can see is a mario 64esk water slide :/
